Something You Can Do
Do you like the squeaky-clean feel of a bath or shower? You can make a bath scrubber that is soft and gentle, but good at cleaning, too. Ask Mommy for the supplies you need, and then you can make her one, too!
A Gentle Elephant Scrubber
Get:
- plastic netting 12” x 12” (found near veil supplies in fabric stores)
- 2 pieces of felt
- paper, scissors, pins
- sewing machine or needle and thread
- Trace around Mommy’s right hand on the paper, with fingers together. Add the elephant’s trunk and ears, like this:
- Cut your pattern out and pin to the felt. Cut 2 elephant heads out of felt, being careful when cutting the inside of the trunk.
- Fold the netting over the felt to cover both sides. Pin through to hold all the layers together.
- Stitch carefully around the edges, leaving the back of the ear open for your hand. Remember to sew around the inside of the trunk, too.
- Carefully trim the netting all around the elephant. Slip your hand inside to see how it fits. You can hand-stick button eyes or a line for the ear, if you don’t stitch the layers together.
- To use your Gentle Elephant Scrubber, slip it on your hand and soak it in water. Now rub it on a soap bar and scrub yourself all over!
